I am working with RecordLinkage Library in R. I have a data frame with id, name, phone, mail
My code looks like this:
ids = data$id
pairs = compare.dedup(data, identity=ids, blockfld=as.list(2,3,4))
The problem is that my ids are not the same in my result output so if I had this data:
id Name Phone Mail
233 Nathali 2222 nathali@dd.com
435 Nathali 2222
553 Jean 3444 jean@dd.com
In my result output I will have something like
id1 id2
1 2
Instead of
id1 id2
233 435
I want to know if there is a way to keep the ids instead of the index, or someone could explain me the identity parameter.
Thanks
